RCD Espanyol has decided to change course after the 4-3 elimination in the Copa del Rey against Sestao, where coach Manolo González was fired on Tuesday night. In the search for a new coach, the parakeet club has set to work to finalize the signing of Eder Sarabia, who will be officially presented on Wednesday, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Monchi, Espanyol's sports director, has indicated that Sarabia's choice responds to the need to stabilize the team, which is in the league's relegation zone. The candidate, who has demonstrated his leadership capacity in lower-category clubs, will be in charge of trying to reverse the bad streak that has led the team to the crisis. The official announcement is expected to be made on Wednesday afternoon, with the intention that the new coach can meet with the coaching staff and players immediately.
The change of command comes at a critical time for Espanyol, which has suffered a series of negative results in recent games. The elimination in the cup and the position in the table have generated pressure on both the fans and the club management. With the arrival of Sarabia, the objective is to restructure the squad and regain the confidence of the players to avoid relegation.
Although the official announcement has not yet been published, the local press already confirms that the club is about to sign the contract. Sarabia is expected to take over and begin working with the team in the next league round, with the hope that his experience and vision can change the course of Espanyol. The departure of Manolo González and the arrival of Sarabia mark a new chapter in the season, and fans hope to see positive results in the upcoming matches.
